RPGaDay 2023: Day 14

14. Favourite CONVENTION purchase

This one is easy. My favorite and most memorable convention purchases were the items I bought at the first Gen Con I attended when it was held at the University of Wisconsin—Parkside in the early 1980s: Stormbringer, Call of Cthulhu, and the two volumes of Best of The Dragon/Best of Dragon. This was the beginning of my devotion to the Basic Role-Playing series of games by Chaosium.

I can remember how I felt as I sat in our tent at a nearby campground, marvelling at my first convention acquisitions. The first remain the best, and I cherish them.

Stormbringer, Call of Cthulhu, and Best of The Dragon (volumes 1 and 2).
